05 Fuel Tank Recall - Did you get a full tank of gas?

[s2wind]

I recently took my new 05 HSE back for the fuel tank recall. The dealer did it in less than four hours which was great. However, when I drove the car away, it had exactly the same amount of gas as the old tank. I talked to the service adviser and he said that they simply drained the gas I had in the old tank, into the new tank.

I thought I recalled that LR provided for a full tank of gas within the recall. Can anyone comment on their actual experience or documentation that indicates that the dealer is getting reimbursement for a full tank of gas?

It is not so much the tank of gas; rather, it is a decision of if I want to continue to build a relationship with this dealer. This would simply be one item that would go into that decision.

I just had my fuel tank replaced by my LR dealer (12-27-05) and no, they did not fill up my tank after installation. They only transferred the fuel from my old tank to the new one. I rechecked the recall notice I received and it does not mention any such policy so I guess you can't fault them. Would have been nice though.

I had the tank replaced with no problems, and they gave me a $100 service credit. However, that money won't go far because in 24K miles I've had to replace five tires (but that, obviously, is another thread).
